Another gorgeous day here today. The good weather just makes everything feel much better. We have had a lovely weekend and I finally have time to try and catch up with you all....
mermaid Well done for taking your head out of the sand for your results. I just wish that they hadn't been so crap and 
As for leaving them out too long so that the results were invalid, WTF is that all about. Surely you give the blood, they handle it in such a way that they can get accurate results, it's hardly rocket science is it 
Bloody doctors, bloody making you go through that again. Can you tell I am annoyed on your behalf?! I have my fair share of health intervention this past year and although at times it has been amazing, at others it just smacks of basic incompetence I just hope you get some clearer answers next week. Did i also read correctly that you have lost more weight since the gym closed? If that is true, it just proves my excuse for not exercising theory that gyms are bad for you! 
Vjay hope the fog lifted for you and the sun came out for the weekend. 
I have racked my brains but can't think of who Bob is When you find out it will be so obvious. So sorry to hear that Ajay is poorly again, it is so worrying and draining when they are poorly and you have had more than your fair share with ajay, especially with the testing for the nut allergy too. Hopefully it means that he is getting his illnesses out of the way for a fit and healthy summer. Hugs to you though, I know it's not easy.
4Ever Ouch at back pain, have only ever suffered badly once and once was enough so feel your pain! I am sure your lovely Dh has been looking after you and I hope the sunshine has made being less mobile slightly more bearable.
moon Can only echo what everyone else has said. it is no wonder you feel a little deflated after getting the results, if it was me, there would have been a part of me subconsciously hoping for something minor but easily treatable that made sense of what i had been through, so I can understand that feeling of everything being ok and the what now feeling that follows. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your Dh's results and then the Doctor can help you move forward with a plan. x
louey congrats again on the scan being fine and knowing that the Lo is growing just fine. It's no wonder you are feeling worn out, running around after the Dt's and growing a baby all at the same time would wear anyone out. I know it is easier said than done, but try to get as much time to rest as possible. Can your DH look after them every few Saturdays to give you a few hours to meet a friend for coffee or lunch on your own just to recharge your batteries? Even a couple of hours can make all the difference and as a second time mum, you know how hard it is to get anytime after the baby is born. You asked about the scan being so late and if I was having the nuchal scan, I am not having the nuchal scan as I wouldn't have an amnio so don't want to be left with some worrying probability figure that I may end up thinking about throughout pregnancy without any way of knowing for sure and we wouldn't change what would be. though obviously understand that not everyone agrees with that and can completely understand why other people make a different choice.
Barbie How sweet is your Dh asking about monkey?! Glad operation stop feeding has gone well for D, hope your body has got the message now and you aren't feeling as sore how are you feeling about it now? it is a really emotional time when you first stop, but it quickly passes. great that it has helped D start eating better too. Onwards and upwards
curly Hope being back at work is going ok. Not long until all those lovely bank holidays. Well done to the royals for adding a bonus day too!
cupcake Hope you have had a fab time at your sisters wedding, please post some pics on here. bet you looked fab in your dress and your hair was perfectly 'run through a field' esque. Hope you got suitably fronked too.
Sabs Another fronking time you too I hope? Really hope you had a special weekend and your friends and family made a fuss of you.
MLS at competitive weight loss with neeko Perhaps we should have a weekly weigh in for the 2 of you complete with slimmer of the week and a star next to your name It is lovely having you back and posting. Gorgeous picture of your DD too , glad you thought of us non FB'ers How is DD1 as a big sister?
neekoSlimmerOfTheWeek Big gold star for losing 3lbs! Hope your operation stop evening feeds went well this weekend? After the term you have had, I hope you are making the most of the hols and doing your best to forget about work until you go back.
BQ How are you doing? That bump must be getting big by now!
blue Hope you have put that whip away now 
and let your Dh relax! at you and your celebratory Cbeebies song for sabs That must surely go on he 'you know you're a mum when...' thread The caravan sounds fab I am so [jealous] may try and work on my parents, dropping a few hints about how much we they would benefit from owning one
monkey The windmills really were such a thoughtful idea, I hope you have had a peaceful weekend. How are you feeling now? You must be well into your 2ww and on that rollercoaster of emotions?
jools Was thinking of you last week and wondering how you were getting on too. Haven't 'seen' you on here for such a long time, hoping you are ok.
Right , feel better for catching up a bit, sorry for anything/anyone I have missed, but started that at 7pm and in between bed time for DS and 2 phone call later, I have only just finished, nearly 2.5 hours later 
Anything could have happened on here in that time!
Thank you for all your lovely messages and advice. We haven't told DS about being pregnant yet, just going to see how we get on, but don't think we will wait too long. Having seen a real baby and having scan photos now makes it seem more real and if the worst was to happen again, I am not sure we could go through that alone again like last time and will need the support of our family and won't tell them until we tell DS so probably won't wait too much longer. However, just enjoying a bit of relief for now before the inevitable worries start again
